The updates may take some time, school is taking my time . Well I don´t own Criminal minds(duh!)

"How could you do this to me?! I loved you and you betrayed me! Why?! I love you! Why do you do that?"! Emily had never seen James so angry before, he looked so furious.

They were standing in the kitchen, she had her back to the wall and he was pacing back and forth while screaming. He suddenly stopped his pacing and quickly made his way to her. He was so close that she could feel his warm breath against her cheek, his brown eyes staring intense into hers.

"Why? " His voice was like a quiet scream. His right hand was stroking her cheek while his left hand was holding her wrist, his body was pinning hers against the wall.

She was looking at him with a confused look and tried to come up with an answer that would please him, she had absolutely no clue to what he was talking about.

"Honey, I-I-I don´t know what you are talking about." Her voice was shaky , she had never been this confused in her life.

This made James harden his grip on her, she winced at the pain that shot up from her wrist and tried to wiggle her way out of his hold on her.

His forehead was resting against hers and he was breathing hard. Even though his eyes were closed she could feel his ice cold stare on her.

"Don´t you dare lie to me, I saw you with him!" He slowly opened his eyes so that they were wide open.

His sudden outburst forced her eyes close and made her whole body tense up. Now she really was scared, she had never been this scared of anybody before. She had always thought of herself as a strong woman, a woman who didn´t take shit from no one. But, her heart thought differently from her brain.

"Who are you talking about?! I´m not lying, please honey, stop it. You're scaring me!"

For a few seconds there was just silence, all she could here was their breathing. James let go of her wrist and backed one step away. Emily thought that it was over, she really thought that he would go away and it would be forgotten. She was wrong.

As soon as she relaxed she saw his hand coming towards her face and collide with her left cheek. The force of the hit made her legs give away so she fell to the floor. She quickly looked up to see his hand coming again.

Emily Prentiss woke up with a scream. Her breathing was ragged and her heart was racing. She brought up her shaken hand to touch her face were she had been hit, it was a long time ago but she had to make sure that it was over, that it didn´t happened yesterday. She had to make sure that she really had packed her bags and left. She breathed out in relief when she felt that her cheek didn´t hurt.

It had been 3 years ago since she left and she still had bad dreams. Well, who could blame her? She got out of the marriage from hell alive. Those 5 years that she spent with him, the 5 years that she had been beaten and both sexually and mentally abused, it was really over.

She looked at the clock and decided that there was no use to stay in bed so she got up and got ready for work.
